The goal of this research is to study the neutralization of sulfuric acid by engine oils, and more specifically study how the presence of different oil additives affects the acid-neutralizing performance of engine oils by using capillary...

The use of ethanol as an additive to gasoline fuel is becoming a common phenomenon. It helps solve the energy crisis and environmental issues that fossil fuel has brought about. However, when dissolved in motor oil, ethanol would dilute motor oil...

This research is aimed at studying the ionic liquid/n-pentanol interface via
video-microscopy and molecular dynamic simulations. Understanding the interfacial
phenomena and interfacial transport between ionic liquids and other liquids is of...

"Hydrophobic hydration of non polar molecules is the principal driving force that dictates several interfacial phenomena in nature such as self assembly of surfactant molecules, fate of environmental pollutants, wetting of surfaces, solution...

This research is focused on engineering submicron spherical carbon particles as effective carriers/supports for nanoscale zerovalent iron (NZVI) particles to address the in situ remediation of soil and groundwater chlorinated contaminants....

The breath figure method is a versatile and facile approach of generating ordered micro and nanoporous structures in polymeric materials. When a polymer solution (dissolved in a high vapor pressure organic solvent) is evaporated out in the presence...

This study is based on the assumption that seasonal influenza in tropical region correlates with climatic, geographical, and socio-economic factors. There are very few studies addressing seasonality and geographical distribution of influenza...

Overbased detergents are present in marine cylinder lubricants for neutralizing combustion-generated acids in engine environment. The nature of overbased particles and the mechanisms by which they act determine their success in neutralizing acids...
